Its been 8 years since my last grow cant wait to get it going again, This is a first look at what I am doing, not done yet need cleaning, a few minor items.
I started growing the early 90's and was on a budget at that time with no money to work with my and a friend thought of an ideal for growing in the gutters. I had read about it somewhere but did not know how to go about it. This is what I came up with. I just built this set up for about $200 Bucks and I already ran it a few times and got great results about 10 years ago we where getting 5-6lbs in a 10X10 room every 3 months, with 4 1000's two MH and two HPS bulbs. I grew for a year and learned a lot during that time. But me and my girlfriend had troubles and had to shut it down asap if you know what I mean.
The supplies I used where: 6-2x4's $2.39each , 4- 10ft Gutters at 12.00 a piece, and a box of screws $5 , sump pump from harbor freight for $29.00, 1/2" PVC pipe 20'ft $10.00 , 4 Valves for $10 and various 45 and 90 degree fittings. 30 Gallon tank from Lowe's $15 and the two 1000's I bought on Craigslist for $50 each the lights are great 100% enclosed fixture that stays cool, at 12" from the light the temp is about 80degrees.
I am new to this Forum and did not see any gutter systems like mine. I use 3" Rockwool cubes that fit great in the gutters. I am able to fit about 8 plants in each and row about 24" apart. The Nutrients flow 24/7 through the gutters which are always monitored for proper PH, PPM and temp.the one problem I had when growing this was was the roots will fill the gutters and to the top and had minor leaks that where taken care of. Other that that I is a great set up for me , and is not for everyone. Wont be long before she is all filled up with my ladies,,,
In a few months I will be filled with The Devils Harvest seeds "Shoreline and SinCity Seeds "SinMints"

I have thought of getting into hydro and hopefully your thread spells it all out and simplifies it for those like me!
